Atlanta native Faye Webster teamed with the Magik*Magik Orchestra to bring an unforgettable performance to the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California. Oakland was the last stop of three on her “An Evening with Faye Webster” tour, performing with a new orchestra at each stop. Webster was accompanied by the LA Phil in Los Angeles and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in Atlanta.
On arrival at the venue, fans were handed a white pamphlet giving credit to each of the orchestras assisting her at each stop, as well as the musicians who helped bring this performance to life. Webster performed on a platform with the rest of the orchestra behind her. The live orchestra provided an ethereal sound that sounded extremely authentic.
Webster began her set around 8 pm to a sold-out, 3000-seat venue, and opened with hits, including “Kind of” and “Right Side of My Neck”. After a couple of songs, the backdrop changed to a curtain with hanging lights that bears a resemblance to the stars. Her set was around an hour and thirty minutes long, finishing with her most popular songs “Kingston” and “I Know You”, gaining over 730 million streams on Spotify combined. Webster thanked the audience after finishing her performance and walked off the stage with a bouquet of roses in her hand.
